XML-RPC: Ho,
hum. Lots of downloads, but almost no feedack. I added a C++
client API, and discovered all the wonderful new features
which have been added to the language in the past few years.
(Sarcasm intended.) But several major users like the C++
API, so that's cool.

I also wrote some scripts that build a complete, tested
distribution in one step--tarballs, LSMs, RPMs, etc. This
required hacking around with RPM's _topdir macro.

What's next? I dunno, since user feedback has been so
skimpy. Either an Apache module, or a "Building a
Client/Server Protocol in 15 Minutes Using XML-RPC
HOWTO".

Car: I figured out why my car heater was broken.
Get
this: dodgy fan, dead heater core, chronic low pressure in
the coolant system, dodgy thermostat, and a crack in the
radiator cap gasket. Fixed most of it with off-the-shelf
parts, because I don't want to pay for a rent-a-car while
mine sits on some mechanic's lot. Other care and feeding
included new wipers, window moisture repellent and a car
wash.

Personal: It's time to restructure my schedule.
This
means daily exercise, plenty of solid productivity time, and
time off in the evenings. I've done this for long
periods of time before, and it makes me happy. I'm sick of
erratic shcedules and conflicting responsibilities, so it's
time to shape things up.
